Antonio explained that the “creative weaving into the local fabric of colorful threads of different ways, beliefs and lifestyles is a concept we call sandurot” (to come together).
The week-long festivity has human industry and creativity at its heart. It features street dancing, original Dumaguete music, local film showing, an acapella competition, a farmer’s market, budbud gabi cooking contest, local food, display of terracotta sculptures, traditional children’s games, public lecture-dance concerts, and a photography contest, among others.
A large crowd watched the presentation of Paghimamat (Get Together) at the Rizal Blvd., which told the story of Dumaguete through dance, music, and theater (PIO)
